Soiled
Watch out In the garden.
Earth cold- The soil is Hard
And The only flowers That bloomed
Are oopsie daisies
-Ive plucked too many, already-
Waiting on rain clouds
When there
Isnt any Above-
Neglect to weed and
There goes the love;
Your garden is dying
The fertilizer
Aint trying
To boost the
Yield of blooms
-ya tried for flowers
But got ragweed and
mushrooms; a fungus~
Rot, a note of
Decay- you forgot
To speak And now there's
Nothing to say.
Branches branching out
Cloaking hemlock in shade
significance contained
in grass by the blade.
The branches
Will wither
And you’ll Be there
When they break
And back you'll brush
Leaves, and the twigs
You will take. Re-Clear the
Earth of sticks And stones
To stop hard Feelings
And set broken Bones-
She dont like
Your emotions?
Then she'll fake her own, So
Down down down
Twirlin like oak seeds
And whirlybirds
Losing meaning
In poems and
Carefully
Pre-chosen words.
Spinning
Outta control-
Life is spiralin'
Fallin' in love
Has finally
Gone viral and
You show it,
In the way the
Leaves get spotted
With brown, black, or Dark green;
I saw Jesus in pansies,
Tell me: what does that mean;
See with, Blood close to clotted
In the heart;
I’m afraid to stop
Waterin' when you’re scared
To start;
Life contained
In a personal Nature
Is more complex than it seems
Like trinomial nomenclature
It’s a big
Responsibility,
Having life all your own
You wont get to relax
till every plant is
full grown.
Wither, whether you weather
The weather with
Your plant life or not,
True dedication
Is more than a sun burn
and a sunspot.
-freckles-
Dotting the bridge of
Your pretty nose
It’s the dirt under
Your fingernails
And- what else?
Well who knows?!
The sunlight's too harsh
And the rain barely comes
And I forgot Paint For
the mock green
Of my thumb. I Don’t
feel bad for the roses
I left out on your bed,
You had the thorns
And stuck me instead
-Droppin-
Flower petals,
Cast out in the
Dirt; Seems ironic for
Game pieces
You use when
you're hurt.
She loves me- now not.
…and She loves me once more,
So indecisive,
she acts like a-
GIRL, confused-
Can’t make up her mind,
If I am her future or
Its time to
leave me behind.
Petals
Like love
So pretty, fragile
Frail, and bright
You thought the game was stupid
…and hell,
you were right.
See, Its not worth
Sweating to
Dig up furrows of grass
If in its place you
Do nothing-
You’re better off
on your COUCH;
Watching documentaries
And movies
With fresh
Vegetation
- better off just
To watch
Than embrace the
Frustration.
Imagine- just if-
Dandelions went away
And the bees kept
On buzz buzz buzzing
OK! with the fact
That you aren't there
To sting-
Youre both in it
Together when
Flowers are
Everything.
See- life isnt hard
when the tomatoes Are plump
But ya gotta be willing
To pull weeds and
Dig up the stump
Left over from
Owners prior,
Careless, wretched,
Toxic and vile, while
Letting grass over
Grow and Bushes grow dense
And it gets hard to see
The neighbor's white Picket fence
They erected to
Keep out the monstrosity
That had overgrown
But the flowers are worth seeing
...if only they'd known.
